Turning left maybe, went by bike reportedly? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sideroad

'turning' is the definition.
(road you turn into)

'left maybe went by bike reportedly?' is the wordplay.
'left maybe' becomes 'side' (left is one side).
'went by bike' becomes 'rode' (rode on a bike).
'reportedly?' shows a homophone (sound like) (I've seen 'reportedly' mean this).
'rode' sounds like 'road'.
'side'+'road'='SIDEROAD'

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
